Sheri Zahava

Energetically June is a time of expansion ✨

Think:

Believing in yourself and radical self acceptance
Manifestation
Knowing your mission and impact with so much certainty
Asking what is your legacy and how much are you ready to grow or even scale?

Expansion also teaches us to create a big enough container to handle it all. How are you building that vessel to meet the expansion?

One of the tricks to expansion is radical self acceptance. Infusing and integrating all the parts of ourselves. That is building the vessel. That is the nervous system breath of fresh air your system needs.

So if you are feeling a lightness and possibility, yes after winter we stretch our limbs more but there is a fiery energy that is supporting us also.

It's also such a sweet time of year so I wrote about that too for you.

You can see my new obsession with Threads in the last slide. 👀

When was the last time you felt like you were in awe and flow?

You know that feeling when you're on vacation and you walk around wide eyed and in awe of everything around you? Just flowing and allowing?

I was walking down the street last Friday.
It was sunny and beautiful and after a long winter that's a miracle in itself.

I was thinking about how I forget to carry awe and flow into my life at home something but the second I do, amazing things happen - just like when I travel.

Sure enough, it did.

Micro magic moments that compounded.

Or I should say they happen and I really receive them.

When we are in our daily intensity of life, entrepreneurship and leadership - that feeling can feel really far removed but it's the unlock to -

- Moving the body from a "fight-or-flight" state to a "rest-and-digest" (parasympathetic) state
- Higher vagal tone, which regulates heart rate and deepens breathing.
- Reduced activation in the default-mode network (DMN), an area of the brain associated with self-reflection and ego.
- Reduces self-focus, making people feel smaller in a way that promotes humility, interconnectedness, and a greater sense of perspective on personal problems.
- Spark things that disrupt our world view and forces us to "reframe" our perspective, encouraging critical thinking and deeper curiosity.

All of these things not to mention the potential for deeper presence, dopamine and oxytocin help increase overall satisfaction.

All things that exponentially create a better baseline for success - especially sustainable.

So ask yourself, how can you create more awe and micro magic in your life?

Two years to the day, I am bringing Sheri Zahava back to life.
After lots (lots) of processing, healing and shifting, what I have landed on and developed now feels so good.
Complete.
Whole.
Helping ambitious people to keep on dreaming up and move through big transitions.
Answer the big questions, whispering in your heart.
To connect you to your unique Heart Magic and a rich fulfilled life.
To connect to gifts and express them in business.
To connect to like minded people .co
Even when life is hard.
We can carry both I’ve learned which is ultimately what makes life flow with more ease. That acceptance meets miracles and magic and being able to receive and process it all while still living fully and OMG I now have 50 years of proof.

Tomorrow is back too with a brand new episode with my friend Alli Rizacos, LinkedIn Queen.
Also say hi 👋🏼 back 💞 I’d love to hear from you.

Connection is the biggest natural high we will ever have.

Agree or disagree?

That warm fuzzy aglow feeling I’ve had reconnecting with friends and family and connecting with new like minded people on this trip Im currently on reminded of that.

It even creates the safety to share here again not to mention the amazing welcome back.

Connection and belonging

Helps regulate the nervous system
Increase joy
Increase creativity
Increase capacity to shine bright and take risk

I wrote about it on my weekly Friday pre Shabbat Substack too.

Just like that, only 1.5 years later 🙃, I am finally able to share in the world again. I call it life before and life after but I feel magic again where I couldn't for a long time and a strong pull to share and help people shine in their unique magic. My mission never left though, was only amplified and I learned about being in alignment and simplicity vs being stretched too thin with all my mani gen energy multifaceted energy. So *breathes* here goes.

Life brings strange catalysts sometimes.
So often the bigger shifts are sparked through the darkness.
Through the liminal spaces beyond our vision.
Through moments that crack us open to the point where our hearts have no choice but to surrender and flow.
How to trust when the grief is in the drivers seat or the pain of change is completely overwhelming.
How to move into new spaces knowing there’s still magic when you don’t feel it.
How to lean into possibility throughout this lens of abyss.
To choose love in the face of it all.

If my mother taught me anything it’s to hold onto that sense of purpose and passion as an anchor in the chaos. To live in our essence.
To uplift others and to lean into community with all of our might. To make sure a grateful heart and prayer lead the day.

So if I asked you right now, what is that sweet space in life for you? The one that lights you up and your hearts calls you too? The one that feels the most like YOU. What would you say? Could you answer that question? Before setting goals, wishes, manifestations and intentions, take a moment to anchor in these questions. Then I encourage you to do it over and over again and give space for the answers to rise.

As I sit in this deeply challenging time of my life, staring at a clean slate, taking the time I need to process, I just keep hearing the whispers of what’s next. Clearer than ever, but with some tweaks for long term growth and sustainability. Being brutally honest about what that means. To both live in that sweet spot and feed my desires. A glimmer.

For now I take each moment as it comes. One intention set at a time, comfy in chaos mantra and telling my guides to chill. Rest, taking care, making travel plans, healing, committing to new workout routines, hanging with the people that feel safe and nourished.

It’s the winter of life right now for us all, and the season where we are all called to reflect inwards.

will be back and live next month.

Love, Sheri

I just remembered I wrote this on Dec 13th in my phone notes to wanted to share it with you. Blessings and magic, always needed. 🤍

My heart is broken. I lost the most important person in my life this week, my mom. Here is what we wrote in her obituary:

The most generous and loving soul that made each person that she came in contact with her feel special and always greeted them with her warm smile and generous spirit. She dedicated her entire life to uplifting others and a multitude of causes close to her heart. Anyone who was lucky enough to be touched by Anna-Lee’s presence was deeply impacted.

If you knew her you know. If you didn’t, she was a gift to many. How to do this life thing without her is a mystery I have no choice but to figure out. Min by min, day by day. 🤍
